Dorfmann writes: \"Dear Raymond: I was deeply touched by your thoughtful letter. I always value your judgment and appreciate it greatly, that I think you know. The delay in answering your letter was due to my recent illness. I was in the hospital with pneumonia, now I am fine. You judged so rightly my student. Talent he has but he needs more work. I called his home in Canada, he was away but I spoke with his mother. She was over joyed with your judgment. I thank you with all my heart. Hope to see you in New York soon. Affectionately, Ania.\"Together with a copy of Lewenthal's letter to Dorfmann, which concerns a pupil of Dorfmann's whom Lewenthal heard perform in a competition in Quebec.
